Onondaga County, New York, District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick said the high school lacrosse players he is prosecuting over hazing allegations could have faced a much more serious fate.

All 11 students in New York turned themselves in to the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office on April 30 after being given 48 hours to surrender.

Eleven high school students in upstate New York are being ordered to turn themselves into the sheriff’s office within 48 hours following a hazing stunt on younger lacrosse team members in which at least one student was taken to the remote woods and tied up.
